From the manufacturer
Every time you preserve food with a FoodSaver System you are guaranteed the promise of freshness. FoodSaver vacuum seal bags are proven to keep food fresher longer. When air is evacuated from the bag and sealed with an airtight seal using a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer, food is protected from the deteriorating effects of oxygen.
Why Use A FoodSaver Vacuum Zipper Bag?
FoodSaver FreshSaver Bags are perfect for keeping fresh refrigerated foods and pantry items that you access daily.
The bags seal in freshness by locking out air and moisture, two of the leading causes of food spoilage. They are designed with a unique multi-layer construction that creates an air-tight barrier around foods, while specially designed channels allow for the complete removal of air.
- Reinforced double-track zipper ensures an airtight seal
- Strong, multiply material creates an air-tight barrier
- Specially designed channels help block oxygen, moisture, and evacuate air
- Reusable and resealable for frequently used food items
Why Choose FoodSaver Bags for Sous Vide Cooking?
| | |
Effectively Prepares Food Sous vide allows you to precisely control your cooking temperature to achieve perfect results. You can cook sous vide in FoodSaver bags by placing them in water at any temperature up to 195°F/90°C. | Keeps Ingredients Secure By using your FoodSaver vacuum sealing system, water can't permeate through the bag and mess with your ingredients, so your food stays secure during its water bath. Our bags also resist punctures and tearing. | Prevents Contents From Floating Using FoodSaver bags and vacuum sealers means the pouches are completely airtight, which delivers consistent cooking results and prevents floating during the sous vide water bath. |
Advantages of Using FoodSaver
| | |
Premium-Quality Bags & Rolls FoodSaver bags have specially designed channels that remove oxygen, creating an airtight barrier that locks in flavor and prevents spoilage and freezer burn. | Seals Freshness In The vacuum sealing system automatically removes all the air from the bag and then uses heat to create an airtight seal, which locks out moisture and air to protect food and maintain freshness. | Easy to Use Simply add food to the bag, insert the open end in a FoodSaver heat-seal vacuum sealing system, and the machine takes care of the rest: removing all the air before creating an airtight seal. |

Questions about FoodSaver 1-Quart BPA-Free Multilayer Construction Vacuum Zipper Bags, 18 Count
Q:
can they go in freezer?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Absolutely!! That's the joy of them, no "freezer burn", ever !! Great for keeping cheese too. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer: if you check the FoodSaver website, the ziplock bags ARE NOT recommended for freezer storage.....only for refrigerator storage. I'm so PO'd because that's what I bought them for.
Answer: Sure, you can put them anywhere you want - doesn't mean they are going to work reliably though. I found the worst failure rate was trying to use them in the freezer - these are already hit or miss for whether they will work, and putting them in the freezer only increased the failure rate.
Answer: Absolutely! Use them all the time. I date outside bag and after months they look the same as the day they went in.
Answer: Hi C. Ariston - Absolutely yes. - Bobby Blue
Answer: Yep they sure do. But you can only re-seal them once or twice if you need to take something out of the bag and then re-freeze.
Answer: yes they can. enjoy your food saver
Answer: Yes, we do it all the time.
Q:
Can these be used with a manual hand pump?
Answer: I use them with my Ziploc manual hand pump.
Q:
Can these bags be vacuum sealed?
Answer: you can remove the air temporary with "FoodSaver FSFRSH0051 FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealing System, White" available at Amazon.com but these bags are not made to be sealed with the Foodsaver machine with the heat strip
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: yes they can, and they hold their vacuum very well, for me. And they can be repeatedly be vacuum sealed, as there is no melting of the plastic. Very clever simple valve works well. I have found more uses for these bags too. As you can remove the air from a zip lock with these bags also. But there is a trick to it.
Answer: That's what the whole system is about. You get the vacuum and the bags that can be sealed.. It's a wonderful way to keep foods sealed and safe from detioration when frozen. YES the bags can be sealed, that's their purpose.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Yes, these type bags can be vacuumed by two different FoodSaver products. The handheld unit and the heatseal units that have the hose attachment. The heatseal units with hose attachment require a device that goes on the end of the hose. It is not available on Amazon but it is available for around $10 on the FoodSaver website. The handheld unit is available on Amazon and at my local Kroger and Walmart (as well as these bags).
Answer: Yes, they can be sealed with the special attachment piece purchased separately.
Answer: Yes, but you have to have the vaccum adapter.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Can you seal with fm2000
Answer: yes if you get this adapter , "FoodSaver FA2000 Handheld Sealer Attachment" , it is on amazon , you might have to paste this link https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FA2000-Handheld-Sealer-Attachment/dp/B01DIWDYOA/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=FoodSaver%C2%AE+The+New+Handheld+Sealer&qid=1577234303&sr=8-1
Answer: I don’t know what fm2000 is?
Answer: I don't know. Most of the bags I've bought stop working after a couple of times and let air in. I went back to using zip plastic bags which I use a number of times.
Answer: I’m not sure so I can’t help
Q:
How many times can they be reused?
Answer: The bags are re-sealable for every day use! However we do not recommend that they be washed and reused because it might compromise the ability to create a proper vacuum.
Answer: I reuse them until the little plastic sealer disk falls off. I hand wash them with dish soap in the sink, and let them air dry before putting them back in the cupboard. I can get more than 5 uses out of them if the sealer disk stays on.
Answer: Although I have consciously kept count, I would guess about 4 or 5 times before the bags lose the ability to reseal. I cannot say if that the nature of the bags or if somehow I contribute to that through handling. Hope this helps. Soon I hope to graduate and upgrade to a countertop vacuum sealer.
Q:
Dimensions of the one quart bag?
Answer: 8.0 inches x 8.9 inches. 20.3 cm x 22.6 cm
Q:
Will these work with Reynolds hand held sealer?
Answer: Our FoodSaver vacuum zipper bags are made to work with FoodSaver vacuum sealing systems. Unfortunately, our bags and rolls are not tested to work with other brands' vacuum sealers.
Answer: I use a Food Saver hand sealer and it works with Generic brands....SO, I am just guessing that the
Answer: I'm not sure.If the pod fits over the vacuum hole on bag it just might work. I want to say that the designs are pretty much standard. best of luck.
Q:
All sizes are reusable, or 18 Count only?
Answer: I have only found Quart and Gallon size. Both are reusable! Love this system!
Answer: The quart size that I order are not reusable. I’m not sure about the other sizes.
Answer: What do you mean by reusable? I think any of the bags or roll stock can be cut open then resealed at a new location. If you are using the bags for food I don't think I would want to store something for a while and then cut the bag open, clean the bag, and then use it again.
Answer: No not reusable!
Answer: I don't see any reason why you could not you reuse them all
Answer: I never reuse these bags
Q:
How thick are theses bags?
Answer: All FoodSaver bags are multi-layered with a total thickness of 4 mil. Thanks!
Answer: Similar to freezer bags, thick and reusable.
Answer: A little thicker than ziploc freezer. They are stiffer too
Q:
Why 3 times more expensive now???
Answer: The reason is the shortage during this hard time that we are going thru.
Q:
Are these bags safe to use in Sous VIde cooking? Will they stay sealed in hot water for several hours at temps of 130 to 170 F?
Answer: In regards to your inquiry, we do not have any tested information for FoodSaver Bags and Rolls with the Sous Vide style of cooking. Temperatures above 170 degrees Fahrenheit can possibly compromise the integrity of the bags depending on how the bags were stored, handled, or used after purchase. At most, we would recommend a light simmer.
Answer: Yes on using them with SV
Q:
How about storing crackers?
Answer: Yes, but again why use an expensive bag that is designed to displace air to preserve freshness and if you did this you would have crumbled crackers.
Answer: You can store crackers but you have to stop the vacuum process before they start to crush. I store crackers in original celaphane or other store wrapping and put that bag in either the quart or gallon vacuum bags. Or if you put in without prior wrapping you just have to watch to make sure you don't vacuum them to the crush point. I have had great success. Open vacuum take out what you want, then vacuum back up. Great $ saver only 2 in our household now.
Answer: Absolutely! Our zipper bags are ideal for frequent accessed food such as deli meats, cheeses, baked goods, chips, crackers and more. Happy shopping!
Answer: I agree qwith the other answers you can do it but you need to be careful to not break the crakers when extracting the air and the bags seem kind of expensive for this use. Also you would not be able to extract all the air in the spaces around the crackers so it would not work well.
Answer: If you use a manual vacuum pump and can control the about of vacuum you might be able to usu it. Your best bet is to get a reusable vacuum canister.
Q:
can they go in freezer?

Q:
Can these bags be used with the Waring Pro
Answer: These Quart-Sized Vacuum Zipper Bags are compatible with all FoodSaver vacuum systems. Some FoodSavers may require the zipper bag attachment for the accessory hose to remove the air from the bag. Hope this helps!
Answer: not at all
Answer: I don't know for sure
Q:
Are they BPA free?
Answer: When I bought the food saver it said all their plastic bags are BPA free. If you're worried you might get the attachment that makes a vacuum canister out of a wide mouthed mason jar.
Answer: The package says the bags are BPA free.
Q:
How well does the seal hold when storing vacuum-sealed items in the freezer, please?
Answer: The valves are frequently faulty. I found 90% of the bags can't hold they're seal. I returned this item for a full refund.
Answer: Usually pretty well. Make sure you seal the ziploc very tight, I’ve found that’s usually where the failure occurs. Even if some leakage happens, it is still just as good as a regular freezer bag.
Answer: These bags aren't recommended for the freezer. They seal well, but between the cold and things rubbing together in the freezer, the round plastic seal tends to come off, ruining the bag.
Answer: 1 month and holding tight. So far, it's great.
Answer: I have had it stay completely sealed for months. I regularly smoke and freeze meat and when I go to use it, there is never any air leakage. It's always as tightly packed as the day I packed and froze it. I think people that are having issues are either reusing bags or not sealing the zipper well. I've had absolutely no issues.
Answer: Done correctly, I have had food items in the freezer in excess of a year.
Answer: We have been using the bags for just a few months. No long term results yet, but no problems so far.
Answer: Very well. I've had no problems.
Answer: I have never had a problem. Much better than the Ziploc brand.
Q:
Can these bags be used with the Waring Pro
Answer: These Quart-Sized Vacuum Zipper Bags are compatible with all FoodSaver vacuum systems. Some FoodSavers may require the zipper bag attachment for the accessory hose to remove the air from the bag. Hope this helps!
Answer: not at all
Answer: I don't know for sure
Q:
What is the thickness of theses bags?
Answer: All of our FoodSaver bags are 4 mil thick. Thanks!
Answer: Thick like a freezer bag. Love them, rarely use the tools anymore. Love them for cheese ... Open to use them real. I use the gallon size too
Answer: They feel just as thick and strong as normal freezer bags
Answer: 950mL
Q:
Can I use my nuwave manual pump on these?
Answer: As long as you can get a good seal, a manual pump should work. The problem with these bags is that no matter what pump you use, they always let the air back in. Very disappointing.
Q:
can these bags be used with the 1085 foodsaver machine?
Answer: The bags are compatible with our FreshSaver hand held machines or our 2-1 Vacuum Sealers.
Answer: I don't think so...it is meant to be used with the small handheld unit. The bags have a hole on the side for vacuuming. .much like a vacuum cleaner hose.haha! I'm not familiar with the 1085, but I have an older counter top unit, and it will not work with it. Hope this helps!
Answer: Unless it has a tube to suck the air out or you use the pistol kind no. I don't like these bags. They are hard to seal and the air leaks in too often.
Answer: I don't believe so. These are primarily used by the small hand held unit.
Q:
8x20vacuum seal bags
Q:
Can zipper bag be put in the freezer
Answer: No. These bags are designed for use in keeping food fresher in the refrigerator and are not designed for use in the freezer.
Answer: Yes I put these in the freezer and they work just fine!
Answer: Yes. Main reason for using them
Answer: Yes, that is what I use them for myself.
Answer: I do it all the time!
Q:
Will these bags work on the VacBird?
Answer: I am not familiar with the vacbird but here is a trick I have used for years with different bags. Get a bottle cap. Drill a small (I used 1/8 drill bit) hole in the middle. Hold the cap over the place on the bag and put you device on top and draw out the air. I don't have to always do this but it works great when I can't get a good seal.
Answer: I am not familiar with the VacBird. FoodSaver products are designed and tested for use with FoodSaver vacuum sealers. It will be the best match. For sure
Q:
Anybody know if these bags are compatible with the pack mate vacu-seal hand-held vacuum pump? (it's no longer sold, i guess).
Answer: I don't think so. The Vacu-Seal bags have a pointed plastic valve that sticks out of the bag, while these FoodSaver bags just have a flat flap of plastic. The pump for these bags needs a flat nose, not a pointy one like the Vacu-Seal.
Answer: I'm not familiar with the Pack Mate system but if it has a suction that you place over an oval flap on the side of the bag then it should work. Take a look at the FoodSaver system to see if they operate the same. Hope this helps.
Answer: We only recommend using these vacuum zipper bags with our FoodSaver brand vacuum sealers. Thanks!
Q:
Will these bags work with other vacuum pumps?
Answer: The zipper bags work great with our handheld FreshSaver, as well as the full size vacuum sealer when using the accessory hose and zipper bag adapter. Happy sealing!
Answer: Possibly, but beware, I've found these bags do not hold a seal for more than an hour or two.
Answer: Any that have a small circular nozzle
Q:
How do these work with softer items - like blueberries and strawberries?
Answer: Yes. But be careful and not pull out all the air because the pressure of the vacuum will crush soft items. Also, these bags are not, I repeat, are not good for resealing or reusing. If you're looking to freeze, freeze soft items on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then transfer to bag and seal once frozen. Works great that way.
Answer: They work very well.
Answer: It works great. Be sure to set the suction with "wet" and when it "feels" something it won't suck it to collapse. Yes, I learned the hard way!
Answer: Works fine.
Answer: unless the berries are frozen solid, vacuum sealing will draw the juice out and crush them. You could try a light amount of vacuum draw if you put them in a hard vacuum canister. Try to keep the berries dry 'cause they will deteriorate much faster if they are wet.
Q:
Approximately how many uses will one bag get?
Answer: well theres 18 bags you can use it till it
Answer: Unknown but they are great little bags I use with my little hand operated vacumn pump I use on the road.
Answer: It depends on what you place in it. When I put spaghetti in it, I only used it one time.
Q:
What mil of theses bags?
Answer: The total thickness of our FoodSaver bags is 4 mil. Thanks!
Answer: 950mL
Q:
How many times can these bags be resealed? Can they be washed and reused?
Answer: The bags are re-sealable for every day use! However we do not recommend that they be washed and reused because it might compromise the ability to create a proper vacuum.
Answer: I've reused them a number of times but always with the same food in them - that what I love about them. I guess you could wash them out and reuse them with other food. I don't but I believe they would hold up the same as a Ziplock bag.
Answer: Yes, it can be hand washed and reused and resealed everytime with great care. Love it!!!
Answer: I have done this for Jerky, but after a couple of times the seal did not want to hold. Plus it would loose it's shape and thickness a little, but I also use a exta liner made from a regular zip lock back, because when vacuum sealing jerky, the hard edges can cut a whole in the bag. Short answer, For dehydrated foods I would, but for other types maybe not, and not more than twice.
Answer: I have used a few of them several times. They never work quite as well as when they were new, but short term storage is still viable. Make sure that the sealing track is completely clean. A tiny grain of coffee grounds will leak.
Answer: I have used mine at least twice. You can tell if they are sealed.
Q:
Can they handle liquid? I add sauce to noodles and it seems to absorb through the valve?
Answer: Any vacuum bag with a valve will allow liquids to come through if you attempt to suck out every bit of air; you can use these if you recognize that you'll need to leave a bit of air along the top so that you don't pull the liquid into your vacuum device.
Answer: Although the liquid will not seep through the bag, it may seep through the port during vacuuming. For best results, we recommend using the FoodSaver Deli Containers for liquids.
Answer: The vacuum is designed to remove the air, any liquid will get caught up. You must push out as much air as possible and then not let any liquid into the vacuum. I frequently leave a little air with liquid, not a problem.
Answer: Freeze the liquid first then seal
Answer: Try FoodSaver Liquid Block (12 heat - seal Barrier Bags)
Answer: Sorry, I never put liquid in them.
Q:
Can this be used with the 31161366 model Foodsaver?
Answer: Hello, this is Zuzanna from FoodSaver!
Answer: The bag says they can be used with FoodSaver handheld and FoodSaver Preservation systems. They are made by FoodSaver and work great with my handheld model. Just like the original bags,
Q:
are the bags reusable?
Answer: If you want
Answer: We've reused a couple of them OK. However, one we tried to reuse, would not seal properly. So I guess the answer is that they are mostly reusable.
Answer: Yes. I reuse them. Sometimes the bags don't hold vacuume but over AT&T I'm happy with the product and for my use they work well.
Answer: Bags are reusable as long as its not used to store meat.
Answer: I would say no. I am not happy with this product as they haven't been airtight.....I have purchased twice, returning the first box that let air in and then tried again, same problem. I wouldn't buy these again....
Answer: Yes they are. As long as the plastic that's on, to draw out the air. I reuse mine all the time. Just wash it out really well and air try.
Q:
I'm confused. the picture shows fresh saver, but description is food saver. i have the fresh saver and am looking for bags. what brand is this???
Answer: I just checked the bags, they say both Food Saver and Fresh Saver on them. I don't think you can go wrong here. The machine and bags are from the same company.
Answer: These are the bags I use with my fresh saver,love them. Maybe they just changed the name to not confuse the other bags for the food saver!!
Answer: If you have the hand vacuum, this is the bag you want. Be sure it shows the circle on it where your vacuum goes.
Answer: FreshSaver vacuum zipper bags are manufactured by FoodSaver and designed to work with FoodSaver vacuum sealing systems, including the FreshSaver.
Answer: I have a FoodSaver and these bags worked very well with it. I am not familiar with the product you have, FreshSaver. Sorry!

Q:
Can i use these for sous vide? (i'm not planning to re-use bag and i'm only going up to around 140f for a rare steak)
Answer: These bags are designed for refrigerator use only. They cannot be used to heat food in the microwave or in simmering water.
Q:
How thick is the plastic used in theses bags?
Answer: The total thickness of our FoodSaver bags is 4 mil. Thanks!
Answer: There is no indication on the packaging for thickness. It is rated for freezer use. I also looked on the Foodsaver website and do not see any indication of thickness for this item.
Answer: about as thick as the regular vacuum bags without the zipper top. They haven't perfected the valve yet, so there is a certain amount of failure usually after multiple resealing.
Answer: Thickness? Don't know. They work well for the fridge as you can reseal. Have not had any problem to date using in the freezer, however not enough time has passed on some test packages to say for sure.
Answer: They are about the thickness of a standard freezer bag. Good for the fridge but really, not good for the freezer.
Answer: About as thick as the plastic rolls.
Answer: They are much thicker than any zip lock bag. We use them a lot for items we want to re-vacuum..
Q:
A question for the advertiser. Why does it say "18 Gallon - size bags? Don't you think people might find this confusing? I know I did.
Answer: I dont know what it said last month but today it says there are 18 QUART bags. It doesnt mean each bag holds a volume of 18 quarts, it means there are 18 bags. Badly phrased for sure. Could be better stated at "Quart Size - 18 Count."
Answer: The count is 18 and the size is gallon
Answer: I'm not the advertiser; but, wow! Must be a typo. The heading reads "Quart". The box reads "Quart". And, the photos appear to be quart sized. I'd contact the seller and let them know. Good luck!
Answer: It doesn't. QUART SIZED it says.
Answer: It doesn't. QUARTER SIZED it says.
Answer: You're better off returning them, anyway. The valves leak.
Answer: Maybe punctuation "might" help, but I had no probs with it.

Q:
Does the ZipLoc brand pump work on these bags to get out the air?
Answer: These zipper bags are designed to work with FoodSaver vacuum sealing appliances. For further assistance, we would recommend you contact Ziploc customer service. Thank you for your interest in our products!
Answer: Hi. I have not seen the Ziploc pump. The square you need to cover is about 1 inch so if the pump has a large enough circumference it should work fine. I love these bags. So much better than regular storage bags.
Answer: The bags worked great for me with ziploc pump.
Answer: It does! That's what I use. Ziplock brand is hard to find and expensive. These are nice bags, quart size. Just like Ziplock keep food away from the circle or when you try to compress bag-- it won't. Thanks for the reminder-/ time to order some more.
Answer: I have the zip lock hand pump and it works great!! Hope that helps you.
Answer: yes, it does.

Answer: Yes
Q:
Are they same for boiling food?
Answer: These zipper bags are designed for short-term refrigerator storage, and are not able to withstand the extreme temperatures of the freezer, microwave or boiling. We do not recommend placing these bags in boiling water. Even the heat-seal bags are not designed to withstand temperatures above 170 degrees F, as the integrity of the seals may become compromised. You can heat cooked foods in a FoodSaver heat-seal bag in a simmering pot. Only place heat-seal bags with frozen food inside the simmering water. Hope this info helps!
Answer: In addition to blocking moisture and oxygen that can compromise the freshness of food, the bags' multi-layer construction makes the bags safe and strong enough for freezing, microwaving, and boiling.
Answer: Oh no!!! They are for storage. Do Not boil them please.
Answer: This has a small opening where you use the handheld suction. contact Foodsaver for the correct answer.
Answer: I wouldn't be afraid to do that. The bags are very sturdy, enough so you can use them over again.

Q:
can i use my built-in vacuum on my foodsaver FM5480 model?

Answer: You will need the attachment that converts the built-in vacuum pump's hookup so that it can depressurize the zipper bag, but yes; this can be done.
Answer: I don’t have that model, but looking at it on amazon it should have an attachment so you can use them
Answer: Not out of the box but you can modify a clear vinyl suction cup by drilling a hole through the center for the hose. fit the suction cup over the place on the bag to draw out the air (valve) and hit the vacuum button.
Answer: It shouldn't be a problem, as long as your vacuum provides a tight seal around the air removal vent.

Answer: I would think they would as long as you carefully line up your vacuum within the circle area
Product reviews of FoodSaver 1-Quart BPA-Free Multilayer Construction Vacuum Zipper Bags, 18 Count
Kim Choate : Provides us money savings and freshness.
We live in a remote area and have to do bulk shopping for supplies. These bags are so easy to use. The fact you can open the bags to take out some of the items in the bags and then reseal them in a second are a lifesaver. Keep cheese, meats, dry goods, and other items fresh for days-weeks longer than when we used to simply wrap them in plastic wrap.
Nancy P. : Very unhappy
I was so excited to get these bags in anticipation of blueberry season. I froze 22 lbs of blueberries and everytime I go to the freezer I see another bag that has lost it's seal. The little seal tab has fallen off. I am sorry I have wasted so much time and money on these bags. I definitely will not buy again. Since I wrote this review I have realized the bags are not for the freezer. That was my whole purpose in the purchase
ROSA LAMOUREUX : Can I use these bags for the freezer?
I like the bags, but want to use them to safe food in the freezer, on the back of the bag package it says: Not intended for liquids or freezer, I’m confused.
David A. Gonzales : Worth every penny.
Excellent craftsmanship make this a must-have for anyone who smokes and stores Salmon and cheeses. If you're looking for a way to preserve foods in the freezer without the frost layers and stale taste, you need the FoodSaver machine and bags.
Dr. B. Truett-Serrett : Love these bags.
Love these ziplock Foodsaver bags. They are great for my spices, as I can open, get out enough to fill up my cabinet spice container, and reseal. No wasting of bag material anymore. I did have one that the seal came off of, but I just sealed it, and placed a piece of duct tape over it. It has held fine.
Todd : Waste of money
These are horrible. Only half of them actually held a seal and those failed after a two or three days. The search for a quality vacuum seal bag continues.
Sm : Some bags lose suction slowly.
I have had several bags losing suction... One in the freezer and the other couple in the fridge... You can refill the fridge ones losing suction, but once frozen you ruin food.. For the price all should work and stay sealed.. I use with the hand held unit.
Carol G. : I like these a lot however ...
They don't seem to hold their seal very long. I've placed several products in the freezer and when I've pulled them out there's air in the bag. Not as excited about them as I was when I first got them..
Michael Bailey : You can Stop throwing away your food
AWESOME! I got one of the vacuum units on clearance at Walmart. Now I vacuum seal everything! My family jokes about it. I didn’t know how long produce could last and how much better baked goods could taste. Works great with the Sous vide also. I need to go read the label. It used to say not for use in freezer but the description in the listing would suggest otherwise. You will be throwing out a lot less cheese and lettuce and second day old bred.
pokesfan75 : Not what I ordered
The bag states they are vacuum zipper bags, I’ve ordered these before and had no problems, but these were not zipper bags - they are just normal vacuum seal bags so I can’t use them with my hand held pump like I intended. Not happy with my purchase.
Amazon Customer : Bag says not for freezing
All advertising says used for freezing
Maxine G. : Food Saver Vacuum Sealer Bags
I use these bags to seal such things as 1/2 an onion, 1/2 a green pepper, 1/2 an avocado, frozen veggies when I only use 1/2 bag. I also use them to seal meat, usually in the gallon size bags. It's keep things fresh for about two weeks. I have an upright Food Saver and these are the only bags that work on that.
Steven Smith : Great product for food storage
A great resealable food saver bag that doesn't require a heat seal. Also very durable and if you are using it to store dry goods for long term, it can also be washed and reused. A great companion for the FreshSaver Rechargeable Vacuum pump. I really like the fact that they can be used for Freezer storage or dry storage. Some companies out there have different bags for different uses. These will fit the bill for many uses.
I also like the double zippered sealing. It helps insure a more positive seal which doesn't leak. I run my thumb across the zipper twice just to make sure I am sealiing it properly before vacuuming the air out. But if you don't, it will let you know and will not vacuum down properly. These are a great product, especially if you don't want to invest in one of the higher priced vacuum sealers that require a heat seal.
Suzanne : These bags do not hold a seal.
The bags do not hold a seal. Not even for 10 minutes. I ever so carefully closed them tightly. I sealed the bags. Within minutes they were no better than a regular quart bag. Garbage and I wasted money on the vacuum sealer too.
Amazon Customer : It loses it's vacuum.
The opening isn't big enough so it's messy to use. It's a step up from regular storage bags, but will lose it's vacuum on refrigerated items usually in about 2 weeks.
Valigirl : Air in veggies after time, could be because I didn't blanch them first or bag is losing suction
The bags to work and do seem to be of decent quality. The do seem to make the food last significantly longer. However, I have notice with my broccoli that after a couple of days there is a little bit of air in the bag. At that time, I just re-suction it. I don't know if this is happening because I didn't follow the directions and blanch the vegetables first (boil for 4 minutes before vacuum sealing) or if its because the bag is losing suction over time. Overall, I can't say that I'm not satisfied with the product.

martin smith : Not for use with foodsaver seal a meal
These bags use the suction of a vacuum cleaner to seal the bags. These are not the bags you use with the FoodSaver Heat generated bag sealer.
Oldhide : Easy to use and a good size
These are great for that extra steak or chop you get in a "value pack". Although I have the regular food saver unit, I have limited counter space so the small hand held unit that uses these are great. I only use the large unit with the cut to size bags when I hit a great sale.
Jamilah : To work or not to work... That IS the question!
I'm really kind of disappointed with these bags though, I was excited to get my handheld vacuum. I've used about 6 bags from the 18 and 3 of them wouldn't seal. Bzzzzz, nice and tight - I look back and they have air in them again. Ugh! So, I have to let everything sit out a minute or two to see if they are properly sealed. When they do work, it tickles me pink! I HATE wasting food because I can't go through it fast enough and with these, these allow me to extend the life of my food....... when they work.
Personally, I'm stocking up on Mason Jars of various sizes to preserve the things that can't really go into a ziplock bag. You just poke a hole in the top of the lid, place a piece of tape over it (don't press down) and use your handheld over the tape - when done, press firmly on the tape.... Viola! Jared lunch mean, yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese, leftover meal sides, etc. Really, the only thing I need to vacuum seal are meats soooooooo.... Keep in mind, you're gambling with these bags.
DKM : Work on Foodsaver & re-usable
Reusable until seal decides to wear out. This helps save on our food bills to prevent freezer burn and have packages the size of our family (2).
Amazon Customer : Great for keeping cut fruit fresh!
I'm a full time caregiver for my 86 yr old mother. Every day she eats 1/4 of an Apple with her lunch. I keep the rest of the cut Apple in a vaccine bag. It stays fresh till gone. No Browning or softening. Wipe clean and reusable. Great for use in frig. If using in freezer keep an eye on vaccume. They can get bumped when moving things around and tab can let air in. Don't over fill and fold bag so vaccine tab is folded under the rest of bag. This keeps tab secure and keeps vaccume.
Jade Kauffman : You want to use these
I bought these to go with the hand held food saver for the refrigerator to give away at a Nutrition conference I'm going to be hosting. I will be talking a lot about the Food Saver line and how wonderful it is in preserving food. Even with the refrigerator bags, you can get such stupendous results as I got with a piece of Swiss cheese I sealed in a refrigerator bag and forgot about for an entire year. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that cheese after a full year in my refrigerator in the food saver bag for the refrigerator. However, don't use these in the freezer. They're not made for the freezer and they don't hold the seal in the freezer. They'll do wonders in your refrigerator but these are not intended for use in the freezer.
Nonna : I have been using these items for 20 yrs.
I buy family packs of chicken. meats, etc. Break them down to one or two servings place them in the bags & freeze. I also have the savor machine for larger items. I seal non edibles also with machine. My money was well spent,
A. Dorsey : waste of money
I am changing my review from one star to four stars, as I have given my negative review some thought since I have since used the last of my bags for current pantry items and I am happy with them. Some people say that they do not work in the freezer, I haven't tried that method, but when I seal they seem to work excellently, as long as I am not using powder such as flour or powdered mil (my negative review prior was due to disappointment with sealing of such dry goods.. I would not recommend the bags for those type of items.
Another reviewer posted that sometimes they leak, so I have opted to add an extra layer of protection by adding a piece of duct tape over the hole. That should do the trick. My conscience is now clear! =)
Greg Wood : Good quality, durable vacuum-sealed bags.
We use these to freeze hamburger meat when it's on sale for use in all kinds of different dinner recipes, that way we always have it on hand in convenient sizes that makes fixing dinner fast and easy. Very heavy duty with a great seal that we use with a battery operated vacuum pump which keeps everything fresh.
Sm : Some bags lose suction slowly.
I have had several bags losing suction... One in the freezer and the other couple in the fridge... You can refill the fridge ones losing suction, but once frozen you ruin food.. For the price all should work and stay sealed.. I use with the hand held unit.
Southern Charm : Great Idea for sealing up food, but are not re-usable
I do like the way these bags work to vacuum seal up perishable foods tightly. My only complaint is that some foods will cause a micro hole in the bag and therefore not seal tightly even though they appear to at first. The air leaks out slowly. So it depends on what you put in there. For example: Coffee beans work great, but ground coffee doesn't. It seems the slightest speck of the ground coffee gets caught in the sliding seal part and loses it's vacuum over time. I tried to seal
my dog chewies like greenies, or denta sticks but the edges poked a teeny hole in the bag so therefore bag did not seal properly. If you save these chewies type products you know how quickly they get hard and stale.
I also tried to reseal a few bags and some worked and some didn't. I guess they are a one time use product so I will not purchase them again due to the cost. They don't come with the gadget to suck the air out, but I had already had one from years ago and it worked well.
I am still giving a 4 star review because when they work as a one time product, with the right food such as rice, they are great.
Kindle Customer : Nancy R
I am happy with the product but learned that in order for the suction to work with my hand held vacuum the bag has to be flat with no food interfering with the suction circle. Once I figured that our all was good.
robert : best bag ever
( these are the vacuum bags that you can reseal ).......I keep my block cheese fresh over a month , hot dogs , chicken, ground burger, etc all do very well and don't get frost burn ....I don't wash and reuse them, but they claim you can
mikef : Sous Vide Steak Size
I have been using the Gallon size bags for my Rib Eye steak just because that is what I had. This Quart size fits a steak much better. And of course - Food Saver quality plus easy of cleaning to reuse. TY Prime for fast delivery.
Gina : Meal planner’s dream
I’m big on meal planning and meal prepping. This helps me buy in bulk and easily store foods for months with my food saver. Easy to take meals from frozen to sous vide perfection. I love these and will keep buying them!
Emhodew : I love mine
I use these bags over and over. I almost exclusively use them in the freezer. They might go in the fridge, but usually only to thaw out before use. I have had the valve fall off some times. But not where I am disappointed with the quality. It is always a bag that is showing signs of long use.(Or I mistreated it).
The # 1 reason I have to throw a bag away is a leak. The leak is invariably cause by a sharp object in the sink.
I do use regular bags with my vacuum system, but these are great for most things.
I saw a comment that these are not wet food friendly, I don't use my vacuum system hose, I use a hand pump. No problem with liquid seeping out. I just wash the pump.
And I also learned to use masking tape to label what is inside.
Julie Dominguez : Love them
These were great and I use them for the freezer but, after the bag has been frozen, they do not keep the Air out as well.
Chuck Woodall : Will not hold a seal.
Most of the time the bags loose their seal within an hour or less. They are NOT reusable no matter how carefully I clean and dry them. I go to lengths to make sure there is no debris in the zip lock. If you need to open and reseal something just use the roll product and make the bag extra long. Then you can cut the bag open and have enough material to reseal. The more you need to open and close, the longer you make the bag. Its way cheaper doing it that way too.
This item is worthless.
Anthony : Doesnt hold air tight form
I/s easy to use the suction is strong. But it doesnt hold the suction. Air gets back into the bags I tried every single bag the suction stayed for about 40 seconds before it relaxed again and air being present in the bags
FG : Love them!
I absolutely love these! They work very well with my vacuum sealer by Chulux...I JUST STOP THEM BEFORE THEY SEAL. The vacume seal is nice and tight. Only down fall is the zipper does not go from edge to edge to fully open, making it a bit uneasy to get large items in...but not a deal breaker. I will be switching eventually to only these.
Sandy : Good reusable vacuum bags
Good value for the money. Some bags do not last as long as they should. Should be able to use them more than half a dozen time.

Tess : Perfect
Hard to find in stores. Walmart doesn't carry any more. So much easier than lugging my big sealer out. I reuse them a lot until seal falls off. if sticks to anything very hard to remove.

NY Amazon shopper : Unreliable
I’ve used Fresh Saver and Fresh Saver bags for many years and have never had this problem. From 1/3-1/2 of the bags won’t hold the seal. I can’t find any tears along the actual seams, and the double zip closure is fit together. But every hour or so I can see the bags are slowly letting in air. Big disappointment.

Bobby Blue : A Kid At Heart
I do a lot of sealing food for the refrigerator and freezer. The bags are great. I am a person that does not like to waste. Although the sealing process is excellent there is a lot of wasted bag material with this system. I cannot comment on other sealing systems. When the sealing is complete there is a lot of bag waste at the top and bottom.
As for the other bags with the circle you put the vacuum sealer on - it's a joke. A 1 quart bag really holds about half a quart becase you need the sealing hole to lay flat in order to seal. I stopped using those bags and will not waste my money on them anymore. With due respect to Food Saver, I will not mention this competitor's name, but their 1 quart sealing system is superior to Food Saver. The circle is a lot small and you can acutally put more in the bag. Sorry, Food Saver but honesty always gives the best reviews.
fran : handy but not very sturdy
half the stuff I put in these didn't seal or they poked thru. Not really impressed as we had a very specific use for them and over half failed. They're cheap enough so I guess not all is lost.
Barbara : Yes, freezer perfect with small trick.
Works GREAT in the freezer! Here’s the trick: Make sure the food item is well clear of the circle. Vac-seal and then fold that corner with the circle against the food item. Place in freezer with that folded corner down so the weight keeps it folded. I stack items and sometimes put several of the same in a plastic grocery bag, twisted tight. Not only does this add an extra protection, but it organizes my freezer shelves.
KathyB : Easy to use - no complaints.
Use these bags with my recently purchased Foodsaver Handheld Vacuum Sealer. Both my husband and I use on almost a daily basis for cheese, meats, cut veggies, even cookies, for both refrigerating and freezing. We have not yet seen the issue of the bags not holding a seal, as other reviews have reported. Some bags we have washed and reused with the same quality seal. No complaints here!
